something wrong with my words, comrade Tekka?

No, no... Just me trying to make a joke again...

But since you asked... Instead of "feel yourself at home" I would suggest it should be "make yourself at home". While both are valid phrases, I think it's better to use "make" when inviting someone to relax in a new location. Sometimes it seems that "feel yourself at home" is a little bit of a clumsy saying that doesn't always make sense. That's just how I feel about the matter anyhow...

But don't mind me, you're doing a good job with the language!

If you consider 26 being old then yes I guess I am an old guy

Well, I have done my best. It's not my mother tongue anyway. But that's not an excuse. I need to overcome this. Once again, thanks comrade Tekka.
